Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

Most books advise holding her in reserve and then un-leasing her power on a sparsely populated board.

You brought her out early, so, rather than take her and leave a partial lesson. I neutralized her for many moves with a knight threat.

Your queen was seriously under-employed by having her strength squandered on a static threat.

That helps, thanks. Every time I threw her in early da sharks chased her. I figgered if she just putta toe in da drink...

But she's so valuable it's a bargain for your opponent to sacrifice virtually any piece, and some combinations, to take her. Hard to defend against a sewer-side attack.

Sorry, I shoulda been keeping up on the diagrams / pics as well...things were actually going good until the temporal deck started getting shuffled..but I got that new 'puter and half my crap's plugged into it, half into the old PC. Inconvenient till I get things settled in better. The only internet access is via the "work" computer 'cos Goddess needed the router in her lair.

Darn good bubble, I'd say!

Goddess turned into Queen Elizabeth for awhile, but she changed back, so I guess mine's not THAT strong.... :abduct:

B - KB5 check! And, yeah, I miscalled that other bishop move, too. :stoned:

Better to immobilize, than capture her.
Usually less expensive too.

But the real lesson was.
Most opponents can not resist a queen sacrifice.
Even when they know it must be bait.
In this case, it set up a harmless looking pawn gambit.

Hey, I found something that might help my eccentric friend with his grafting project. :weedpoke: I don't understand the orientation of the cuts / grafts, though...the bold section. (This is from the old Marijuana Botany by Clarke.) Can you figure out what he's trying to describe? I can't picture it. Maybe this has been de-bunked, because I'm not too thrilled at the prospects for a second scion's survival higher up the same stem without a recovery period. Until I understand the technique he's describing, at least...thanks...:thumbsup:

Grafting of Cannabis is very simple. Several seedlings can be grafted together into one to produce very interesting specimen plants. One procedure starts by planting one seed ling each of several separate strains close together in the same container, placing the stock (root plant) for the cross in the center of the rest. When the seedlings are four weeks old they are ready to be grafted. A diagonal cut is made approximately half-way through the stock stem and one of the scion (shoot) seedlings at the same level. The cut portions are slipped together such that the inner cut surfaces are touching. The joints are held with a fold of cellophane tape. A second scion from an adjacent seedling may be grafted to the stock higher up the stem. After two weeks, the unwanted portions of the grafts are cut away. Eight to twelve weeks are needed to complete the graft, and the plants are maintained in a mild environment at all times. As the graft takes, and the plant begins to grow, the tape falls off.

Wins a Rook, or at least a Bishop.


House of cards...

That grafting info looks very familier.
I read that and the hops grafting t'ing around the same time, or not.
I'm un-stuck in time alla time, so...
No can say.
Only works in veg. though.
